It seems Aakash Chopra is in the mood to take on Venkatesh Prasad, who has accused the Indian team management of favoring out of form, KL Rahul.
Aakash recently had an online conversation with Prasad, urging the former player to be patient with Rahul and let him play the second innings in the Delhi Test.
However, his comment backfired after the batter was dismissed for 1. Venkatesh posted about KL’s performances in overseas games after Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma highlighted Rahul’s South Africa and England centuries to back the batter.
Taking note of Prasad’s tweet, Chopra once again targeted him indirectly by coming up with statistics on Rahul’s performances in SENA countries.
“Indian batters in SENA countries. Maybe, this is the reason selectors/coach/captain are backing KLR. He’s played 2 Tests at home (ongoing BGT) during this period. No, I don’t need a BCCI role as a selector/coach. I don’t need any mentor, coaching role at any IPL team either,” he wrote.
Fans disliked his support for the player and accused him of favoring a flop batsman.
